Camera Storage location was changed & not by me!

I had set it to store in the large 32 GB SD card soon after I got the phone & as recently as August had taken some photos & they were there as expected. Today I took 4 photos & they appeared as expected in my gallery but when I attempted to transfer to my computer via USB, they were not in the SD card DCIM/Camera folder with all the other photos! I finally found them in the Internal Storage/DCIM/Camera folder.

Anyone else have their storage location mysteriously changed?

Here is how to manually move the files from Int. Storage to Ext. Storage SD card & then switch the storage location back to SD card.

To move files between internal and external storage:
. Open the applications menu.
. Scroll to and tap My Files to open the file manager
. Tap Internal phone storage
. Scroll to the folder or file location to your desired file
. Tap and hold the file, then choose Copy or Move
. Press the back key and Tap the SD card
. Scroll to the folder or file location where you want to place your desired file
. Tap Move
. Your file has been placed into your other storage location

How to change camera storage location:

Open Camera
Menu
Menu bar should roll out
Tap the sprocket icon
Scroll to Storage Location
Tap it & select SD card & not Internal Storage
 
I have the stock camera set to the SD card, not internal. Does anyone know how to set Camera 360 to save to the external SD card? Their options are "manual" and "follow camera path".
